From the strange disappearance of Jimmy P., son of the town's most prominent
family to the wind-whipped conflagration that claims the life of the town's enigmatic and psychotic school teacher's
mother to the deadly wreck of the Southern Pacific's Coast Line freight train, the forces of man and nature seem hell-bent
on rendering Sheriff Haley's quiet little town asunder.
And
what started as petty theft soon evolves into scandal, cover-up and murder. It will take all of Sheriff Haley's ingenuity and not a little luck to discover what is
going on and who is behind it all, discoveries that will lead him to the world famous Ambassador Hotel's Cocoanut Grove and
to Ruby Jean Johnson, the nightclub's most popular new performer, who will have no choice but to give the country lawman,
as well as the star-studded packed house, a show to be talked about for a lifetime.
Against the backdrop of California's
Depression-era labor struggles, its politics and clashes among its culturally diverse citizenry, "Discord In Harmony"
weaves a tale of love and duplicity, duty and deceit, and yes, discord and harmony.
